Kapok Fiber- Structure, Characteristics and Applications: A Review

Kapok fiber is a light, cottony, pale yellow to brown fiber obtained from Kapok fruit. The fiber is characterized by a large, hollow lumen and is generally hydrophobic due to its waxy surface. The fiber is difficult to spun into thread and it is commonly used as filling in mattresses, pillows, stuffed toys and upholstery. Compared to other natural fiber, kapok’s use is limited in application. However, it is now gaining attention in the scientific community as an important material due to its outstanding properties. This review will provide a detailed overview on the structure, composition and morphology of kapok fiber. It will also discuss the recent researches conducted on kapok fiber including its application as adsorbent material, biocomposite, biotemplate, electrode material and others.

PRIME Immunology: Self-directed Introduction to Medical School Immunology

Introduction Medical students find immunology difficult to understand and relate to clinically and are often frustrated by the amount of detailed material. We created PRIME Immunology: Preview or Review of Important Material for Everyone: (i) video modules, (ii) Instagram site, and (iii) vocabulary files called Immunology Language. Methods The self-paced modules introduced key topics in immunology for students to complete prior to their instructional block. Results and Conclusions Use of PRIME Immunology during a 3-year period suggested that providing students with an overview of key topics before the start of their course may (i) reduce student angst about immunology and (ii) improve retention of immunology.

The Cultural Significance of Construction and International Communication Reflection of San Kong in Qufu, Confucius’ Hometown

In 1956, UNESCO confirmed the top ten cultural celebrities in the world, and Confucius was ranked first in the list. In recent years, “Confucius fever” has become a trend all over the world, and Confucius Institutes have been set up in many countries. Qufu, Confucius’ hometown, is an important material carrier of Confucius thought, Confucian philosophy and Chinese culture. It is of far-reaching cultural significance. Its overseas communication has made some achievements, but still needs redoubled efforts. In the context of globalization, it is necessary to take measures to promote the global understanding of the San Kong, also called “The Three Confucian [sites]” in Qufu, including the Temple and Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion.

BuddhistRoadPaper 5.2 “The Buddhist Temples in Dunhuang: Mid–8th to Early 11th Centuries"

This presentation is a guide to the Buddhist temples and hermitages that existed in Dunhuang during the periods of the Tibetan and Guiyijun rule (851–1036?, 歸義軍, Return-to-Allegiance Army), and covers a timespan of roughly two hundred and fifty years, from the late 8th to mid-11th centuries. I provide as much primary data as possible on local Buddhist institutions, organised for easy reference. There is an entry for each temple that features a historical overview, monastic sustenance, including landholdings, buildings, libraries, scriptures, practices and rituals, important clerics, connections to the construction of caves at Mogao, and notes on location when available. Since previous presentations and documentation of Dunhuang’s temples and their activities in secondary literature are partial, fragmentary, and scattered, this is an attempt to bring together as much data as possible, in order to provide scholars with up-to-date access to the most important material. However, given the vast number of primary sources, not all of the relevant information is included here. Nonetheless, this is an easy-to-use tool to enable further studies.

Youtube as Da'wah Media Innovation in Disruption Era

This article aims to analyze YouTube as a da'wah media for Muslim preachers in the disruption era. The use of Youtube as a medium of preaching significantly impacted developing increasingly competitive digital da'wah content. The digitalization of Islamic da'wah on Youtube has made the Dai (preacher) more proactive in making updates and adjustments. Dai's proficiency in the mastery of dakwah media via Youtube is one of the determining factors in digitizing da'wah. Therefore, Dai, who uses Youtube as a medium of preaching in the digital era, must always carry out innovation. Dai can create material videos by adding stimulating effects such as animated visualization, adding unique descriptions for important material points, and religious music back sounds. Dai also take advantage of image editing applications such as CorelDRAW, Photoshop, and video applications such as Filmora, VideoPad, or Adobe Premiere in the material creation process. Innovation is the process of making a da'wah video is very important so that the da'wah material can touch the community, especially the millennial generation.

Adhesive Strength of Gypsum Composites with Lightweight Fillers

Gypsum composites with several types of lightweight fillers were studied. Gypsum starts to be more important material nowadays, because it is one of the most environmentally friendly building binders. Therefore, there are new ways of the larger utilization of gypsum based materials to be sought. Even though the use of fillers in the gypsum is generally not necessary, because gypsum (opposite to cement or lime) does not shrink, fillers can be used for economic reasons or to improve some other properties of the gypsum material, e.g. thermal or fire resistance. We studied the adhesive strength of gypsum composites, containing three types of lightweight fillers (perlite, expanded clay aggregate and recycled PUR) and compared them with the properties of gypsum mortar with siliceous sand. It was found, that the type of the filler has principal impact on the adhesive strength of the gypsum composite.

The paper technology of confinement: evolving criteria in admission forms (1850–73)

This paper investigates the role of admission forms in the regulation of asylum confinement in the second half of the nineteenth century. Taking the Toronto Lunatic Asylum as a case study it traces the evolution of the forms’ content and structure during the first decades of this institution. Admission forms provide important material for understanding the medico-legal assessment of lunacy in a certain jurisdiction. First, they show how the description of insanity depended on a plurality of actors. Second, doctors were not necessarily required to indicate symptoms of derangement. Third, patients’ relatives played a fundamental role in providing clinical information.
